The Presidential Election isn't the Only One
I don’t understand all the people that are 19+ that are saying that November is going to be the first time they can vote.

“You don’t even see how racist that question is.”

I hate that you have to go to throwback re-runs for shows that are slightly more fitting of these normal expectations.
It is not irrational to ask for positive representation without tropes & stereotypes of the one sole person of color on the screen.
What messages are our youth of color getting when they don’t regularly or positively see...

Ugh,
So I love the Sookie Stackhouse books. I started reading them when I was a freshmen in high school but when I went off to college I feel behind. I went to the library the other day and discovered that I’m three books behind.
I’m almost done with Dead Reckoning and it’s starting to seem like Sookie and Eric are going to break up and that is not ok.
I loved them together....

Do you mind if I ask what the slang means? I’ve literally never heard “heffa” used. I’ve only ever heard “heifer” (used almost exclusively by white women to talk shit about other chicks. Sometimes about weight, sometimes as a alternative to “slut”)
Umm I’m not really sure how to explain it. The...

“YOU’RE UGLY
YOU’RE DIRTY
YOU’RE NOT GOOD ENOUGH
YOU’LL NEVER BE PRETTY
YOU’LL NEVER BE HANDSOME
YOU’LL NEVER BE ACCEPTED
